FAQs
Frequently asked questions
When should my child move to a booster seat in Australia?
Move your child to a booster seat once they outgrow their forward-facing harnessed seat — typically around 4 years of age in Australia (check the harness shoulder-height marker on the current seat). The Kid Guard suits children with a total standing height of 135 cm to 155 cm (approximately 4 to 10 years), and children under 145 cm should try the booster to confirm fitment. Australian law requires a suitable child restraint (AS/NZS 1754) until at least age 7.
How much does the Britax Kid Guard Booster cost in Australia?
The Britax Safe-n-Sound Kid Guard Booster is priced from $239 AUD: $239 at Amazon AU, $259 at Baby Bunting (sale from $299, ends 13/09/26) and $299 at Britax AU direct. It sits above the Tourer Booster ($99) and below the Maxi Guard Pro harnessed seat ($599) in the Britax range.
How does the Kid Guard's SecureGuard work?
SecureGuard is Britax's anti-submarining device: a rigid positioning piece that holds the adult lap belt correctly across the child's hips so the belt cannot ride up onto the abdomen in a crash. The booster is installed with the vehicle's adult seatbelt, so no ISOFIX or top tether is needed, which makes it easy to move between cars.
